Holes in Pentax prime line up

Now that Pentax stepped-up and is offering the 70-200mm, what lenses would you like to see round up the lens line-up. I'm basically talking about prime lenses, but I mentioned the 70-200 because of it's popularity with photographers. I was thinking maybe a 135mm f2 Limited(made of steel).

Why short yourself? It should be made of adamantium!

Fast 16mm and 18mm for APSc, fast 24mm for FF (FA31Ltd can replace 28mm on FF).

Failing that, maybe Ricoh can mine Pandora for unobtainium.

I second the need for ultra fast 1.4 lenses and a DFA* 85.

Even if Pentax decided to never releases another f1.4 lens, I'd be OK with it.

A 120-150mm prime in the vein of DAs 35/2.4 and 50/1.8, a talented minimalist bargain for all.

A weather-sealed pancake somewhere in the normal-to-wide range. That would be awesome.

I agree with 135..or any decent one, really. (Except for the ones I already own) The problem is budget..but that is a different story..
